What Lürssen Confirmed About Odisea
Odisea is a 78-metre superyacht, internally designated Project Ace 21, with 2,397 gross tons (GT). The delivery was reported on March 13, 2026 by Boat International, which confirmed the yacht underway from Lürssen's shipyard in Bremen, Germany, to London. Both exterior and interior were designed entirely by British studio RWD — the first time the pairing has signed a complete project, from hull to interior finish. The owner's name was not disclosed, standard practice for high-value superyacht deliveries.
From Launch to Delivery: Project Ace 21's Route
Odisea had already touched water in 2025, one of four hulls Lürssen launched that year — alongside the 134.2-metre Deep Blue, the 114-metre Nausicaä (formerly Project Cosmos), and the 117-metre Boardwalk, which touched water on December 5, 2025. Between the hull's launch and its final delivery in March 2026, the yacht went through outfitting — systems installation, interior finishing and sea trials — the typical stage between first floating and sailing under an owner's command.
RWD: A First Full Collaboration With Lürssen
The detail that matters most for the design trade is this: RWD had worked with German yards before, but Odisea marks the first time the studio has signed both exterior and interior in full on a Lürssen project. For a century-old yard known for long-standing relationships with a limited circle of design houses, opening that scope to a single British studio on a 78-metre project is itself a notable data point, not just an aesthetic one.
Odisea in Lürssen's 2025 Picture
Odisea's delivery lands at a moment when Lürssen has already shown range across its portfolio: the yard put four yachts in the water in 2025, from the 78-metre Ace 21 to the 134.2-metre Deep Blue. The yard's recent pedigree also carries award weight: the 122-metre Kismet, built by Lürssen, won Motor Yacht of the Year at the World Superyacht Awards 2025, held in Venice in May of that year. Odisea enters that portfolio as the smallest by length of the four 2025 launches, but the first to reach a documented final delivery in 2026.
Where Odisea Sits Among Recent Deliveries
The table below gathers the superyacht deliveries and launches covered in this desk's recent reporting, to give Odisea's scale some context against other 2025-26 projects:

| Leviathan | Oceanco | 111 m | — | Delivered to Gabe Newell, Nov 13, 2025 |
| DreAMBoat | Oceanco | 111 m | 4,550 | Delivered Nov 20, 2025 |

FAQ
What is Lürssen's Odisea? It is a 78-metre superyacht, also known as Project Ace 21, with 2,397 gross tons. Lürssen confirmed its delivery on March 13, 2026, with the yacht underway from the Bremen shipyard to London. Both exterior and interior were designed entirely by British studio RWD.
When was Odisea delivered? The delivery was reported on March 13, 2026. The yacht had already launched in 2025, one of four hulls Lürssen put in the water that year, and went through outfitting before its final handover to the owner.
Who designed Odisea? British studio RWD designed both the exterior and interior of Odisea — the first time the RWD/Lürssen pairing has signed a complete project this way. Previous collaborations between the two were typically partial, making this a milestone in the relationship between yard and design house.
How many yachts did Lürssen launch in 2025? Four: the 134.2-metre Deep Blue, the 114-metre Nausicaä (formerly Project Cosmos), the 117-metre Boardwalk (launched December 5, 2025), and Odisea itself (78 metres, Project Ace 21). Odisea was the first of that group to reach a documented final delivery, in March 2026.
Who owns Odisea? Not disclosed. Keeping an owner's identity confidential is standard practice for large superyacht deliveries, particularly when a project is commissioned under a confidentiality agreement with the yard.
What does Odisea's 2,397 GT figure mean? Gross Tonnage (GT) measures a vessel's total internal volume, not its weight — it is the metric used for registration, port fees and regulatory thresholds, including the EU ETS for vessels above 5,000 GT. At 2,397 GT, Odisea falls below that specific emissions threshold.
Where does Odisea sail after delivery? The confirmed route from Lürssen is from the Bremen shipyard in Germany to London, in the United Kingdom. There is no public information on the yacht's final base of operations or potential charter availability, since the owner has not been identified.
